Maternal knowledge of low birth weight and its predictors among Rohingya women of reproductive age in the Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) camps in Bangladesh

This cross-sectional study of 300 Rohingya women in Bangladesh's FDMN camps reveals alarmingly low maternal knowledge of low birth weight, identifying maternal and household-head education as the strongest independent predictors and underscoring the urgent need for targeted, culturally adapted health education within humanitarian responses.

Insulin resistance and glucose-metabolic changes in patients with sepsis during hospitalization and recovery: a prospective observational study

This prospective observational study of non-diabetic sepsis patients reveals that glucose-metabolic responses during hospitalization and recovery are characterized by substantial inter-individual heterogeneity rather than a consistent pattern of transient insulin resistance.

The Impact of Late Diagnosis on Health Outcomes Among Women and Children in Low-Income Communities in Northern Nigeria: A Quantitative Feasibility Study

This quantitative feasibility study in Borno State, Nigeria, reveals that late diagnosis of treatable conditions affects nearly 95% of women and children, driven by socioeconomic and health system barriers, and is significantly associated with severe clinical complications, prolonged hospitalization, and doubled medical costs.

Exhaled endogenous pulmonary nitric oxide in intubated and ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

This pilot study utilized a prototype Optical Feedback Cavity-Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (OFCEAS) analyzer to demonstrate that, contrary to previous indications, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels do not significantly differ between intubated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and control patients, while successfully establishing the feasibility of continuous, cycle-resolved FeNO monitoring in mechanically ventilated individuals.

Quality and Content of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm-Related Short Videos on TikTok, Bilibili, and YouTube: A Cross-Platform Content Analysis

This cross-platform content analysis reveals that while YouTube and medically affiliated sources offer higher-quality abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) videos than TikTok and Bilibili, all platforms suffer from significant gaps in clinically relevant information and a disconnect between user engagement and content reliability, highlighting an urgent need for standardized, medically authored content and improved platform governance.

Sustained optogenetic expression in skeletal muscle is limited by host adaptive immunity, but preserved with targeted immunosuppression

This study demonstrates that while host adaptive immunity limits sustained optogenetic expression in skeletal muscle for treating obstructive sleep apnea, a combination of rapamycin and cyclosporin effectively mitigates this immune response to preserve durable transgene expression and functional muscle activation.

Intelligent Pneumoperitoneum System Stabilizes Hemodynamics in Robotic Pheochromocytoma Resection: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This retrospective cohort study demonstrates that the intelligent pneumoperitoneum system (Zhonghe Third-Generation) significantly improves hemodynamic stability, reduces vasopressor requirements, and shortens operative time in robotic pheochromocytoma resection compared to conventional methods.

H2O2- and Light-Triggered MnO2-Based Nanoswitches for Microenvironment Reprogramming and Photodynamic Therapy of Hypoxic Atherosclerotic Plaques

This study presents a stimulus-responsive MnO2-based nanoswitch that utilizes intraplaque H2O2 to simultaneously generate oxygen, reprogram pro-inflammatory macrophages, and activate photodynamic therapy, thereby effectively treating hypoxic atherosclerotic plaques while minimizing off-target toxicity.

Immune Checkpoint Response Profiles and Resistance Mechanisms in NSCLC Revealed by Circulating Extracellular Vesicle Proteomics

This study utilizes high-plex proteomic profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from NSCLC patients to identify a six-protein signature that predicts immune checkpoint inhibitor resistance and reveals distinct immune evasion mechanisms associated with poor treatment outcomes.
